Yesterday was six months without him. Six months feels like too long on this earth without the one whom my soul loves.

The truths I learned this weekend through Nancy Guthrie at the “Even Better than Eden” conference are continuing to sink deeper into my soul and be a balm to my hurting heart.
…
Three major take aways from the conference this past weekend: 1) God does His best work with empty because then He can fill that emptiness with Himself. 2) we learn through Paul that through Christ it IS possible to have contentment in the wilderness of this world. His grace is sufficient for me. He will allow enough grace to endure 3) The new creation that we eagerly await is actually breaking through into the here and now as God provides an abundant, all satisfying life here as the power of Christ rests on me in my weakness.

So much still to process. As I miss Justin, and fight cancer (had chemo yesterday with another reaction…), and mother three grieving children- I do eagerly await that time when “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
…
Until then, I sing: “Guide me O though great Jehovah, pilgrim through this barren land. I am weak, but though art mighty; Hold me with thy powerful hand. Bread of heaven, bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more. Feed me till I want no more.” (William Williams, 1745)
